Transmigration story in the showbiz world. Heavy on career building, tumultuous romance plus multiple love interest.

Du Yun Xiu, a down in the dumps talented mid-age actor, died an early death. His soul transmigrated to a handsome youth's body. He is determined to take this second chance at life to fulfil his previous aspiration to reach the peak of his acting career, to be the top superstar actor. Yun Xiu is easy to like as he is gentle, caring, warm and intelligent. The story centred on his acting career as well as his tumultuous love life as a gay celebrity. He encountered countless betrayal in his love life as well as his career; nevertheless, he stayed strong and brave on without losing hope in humanity and the trust in others.

I am very invested in the plot and Yun Xiu's journey to stardom and finding his eventual true love. His undying passion for performing and for acting as well as his hardworking attitude appeals to me. He makes me care for his wellbeing and success. He is genuine and sincere towards his lovers despite his past bad experiences in romance. Unfortunately, he still has to go through some more heartbreaks before he found the right one worth spending his life together.

I admire the author's creative ability and I can feel that the author has put tons of homework into the writing. The story is full of substance, and the characters are well fleshed out. The author is successful in the world-building and brought out much-hidden truth behind the glitzy showbiz world. It is an industry shrouded in corruption, politics and darkness. The truth behind this lucrative and tempting industry is beyond ugly and cruel. Talent and hard work are overlooked for personal gains and favouritism. Fans are readily manipulated with false reports. It is also unsettling that the actions of these blinded fans are so extreme and beyond cruel. Many do not realise these irresponsible actions could cause more harm than good and possible death as well.

I felt like I have learned a ton on the intricacies of acting and directing, as there are countless acting scenes in the story. To me, this is another interesting part of the story that pulled me in. Overall, this book is worth reading as the scenarios are mostly realistic, the story plus characters are multifaceted and have much depth.

其實是二刷了，只是第一刷完後感想啥的不知道有沒有寫。記得是先找到漫畫然後才去把小說找出來看。

是一個不錯的故事，一刷的時候應該是我看的第二篇娛樂圈的文（第一篇是言情，叫什麼《試婚老公要給力》，好久以前不知道為啥開始讀的，沒看完因為真的拖的太長了啊啊啊）。

看著看著看到最後我學到了：
封景的形容詞有「妖冶」、「妖嬈」、「妖孽」和「蠱惑」；
雲修的形容詞……呃，相較之下我一時只想道「溫柔」和「沉穩」。

嗯。主要就是我覺得作者形容封景時一直用同樣的那幾個詞彙，有點單調。

番外有車，但當然沒在晉江上……不過說真的我實在很難想像情慾高漲的雲修……而且！而且！為什麼作者你不要寫他們的第一次！我就想看他們兩個人的第一次！想看第一次那種隱約的羞澀不安心動，那種第一次坦誠相見把自己赤裸裸地呈現給對方……的那種感覺……

喔還有要吐槽的就是林寶寶和裴清那兩個雙胞胎——？？請問林寶寶被那兩個雙胞胎（說服）脫褲子畫沒穿褲子，這難道只有我覺得不太妥當嗎……（整篇文我最不喜歡的部分應該就是林寶寶和雙胞胎的那小段吧）

不過還是蠻好看的！（讓願意我二刷）
